Things to know

North Kobble remote bush camp is situated in the South D'Aguilar section of D'Aguilar National Park, approximately 48 kilometers northwest of Brisbane's city center. Access to the campsite is only possible via trekking along unmarked trails, and the terrain is steep and challenging, requiring visitors to be physically fit and possess bushwalking and navigation skills. The campsite offers a remote bush camping experience in an open eucalypt forest adjacent to Kobble Creek. There are no separately-defined camping sites within the area, and a maximum of 9 people (equivalent to 3 three-person tents) can camp here at one time. Facilities are minimal, so campers must follow bush toileting practices. While fuel stoves are recommended, open fires are allowed in the provided fireplace, except during fire bans or prohibitions. Collecting bushwood is strictly prohibited, with penalties for offenses. Generators are not permitted. Essential items to bring include drinking water (as Kobble Creek is often dry, treat creek water if available), a first-aid kit, rubbish bags, insect repellent, a fuel stove, a tent, sturdy shoes, and appropriate clothing. Mobile phone coverage in the area is unreliable, so visitors should be prepared for limited connectivity.

Neighborhood

The campsite is nestled in an open eucalypt forest, providing a serene and remote atmosphere. It offers an authentic wilderness experience and is ideal for experienced hikers looking to explore an untouched portion of D'Aguilar National Park. As you hike through the area, you'll encounter ancient-looking grasstrees and cycads, and the tree-filtered views of the pristine surroundings are truly impressive. A short walk from the campsite will take you to Kobble Creek, which, although often dry, features naturally sculpted bluestone formations along its base and sides. It's a great spot to observe skinks and other lizards basking on warm rock surfaces.
